for two days already I try in vain for a solution, so I rely on you, as the title my problem is the disappearance of the icons or the "defeat" of the folders in the home of my Nexus 4, provided that I have the cyanogenmod 10.2, however, the problem I began to do with the rom crDroid, in addition I have done all sorts of reset, reinstalled several times the rom, kernel, well done all wipe including system before reinstalling the rom clean etc etc ...
Basically when I put icons in the home folder on reboot I find the icons scattered throughout the home out of the folder so that no longer exists or if the folder is not deleted me disappear a few icons in the folder
EDIT
I try nova launcher and the problem is solved then logically I can only think that the problem is the trebuchet, there is a fix or something to do? I tried to erase all data and restore the icons but nothing
I fixed the problem reinstalling trebuchet from system
SOLUTION:
use Es File Explorer with root explorer (need root permission)
- unistall old/bug trebuchet
- download CM 10.1 Trebuchet launcher from Carlos_Manuel's ROM Dreams, (unmodified) [thanks Carlos_Manuel]
- move trebuchet.apk to /system/app and install
Hi guys, I'm giving up on CyanogenMod. It is slimmer but it has more problems on Galaxy Note 10.1. If you have answer concerning the SDCard problem, please reply to my topic there.
Anyway, still I want to trim all those bloatwares from my device, so I did couple of researches, combining articles and tutorials on trimming roms on other devices (Note 1, 2, 3 and some other devices like sony)
The result? So far it's pretty stable and functional. Phone, bluetooth, wifi, sms, video call, stylus pressure sensitivity etc, all working just fine.
I also had several games, emulators and some graphic apps installed and running without any problem. No crashes so far.
I'll report more if there's anything came up. But I'm pretty happy with it now.
Might work on other tab/note variants too. So here it is :
1. Root your stock, using any method you want (I'm using Odin + ClockworkMod + CF-Auto-Root)
2. Use root file explorer of your choice and delete everything (or you can add .old extension if you had doubts, or maybe everyone's favorite, using freeze in Titanium Backup) in system/app EXCEPT THESE :

Also, for SGS 3 from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/applications-safe-to-remove-t1634624/page28
If you find any similar spreadsheet for other devices (Sony, HTC, or Motorola and probably even chinese handsets), or minimalist custom ROMs, please let me know, so I can do further comparison, and fetching more infos on the apks. Might just as well create a universal list for it. If I get my hands on new handsets, I'll probably do this too.
Note, from my list above, I deleted SamsungIME.apk (the default keyboard) so if you're doing factory reset you won't be able to type anything. I have myself a hardware keyboard to do the intial setups and such. But after that I used SwiftKey for my daily needs.
If you don't have any hardware keyboard at your disposal, leave it. You can delete it after you installed 3rd party keyboard.
I removed camera (SamsungCamera.apk) as well since I didn't use it much on my tablet. You can leave it if you want to, or use third party apps for it.
For the browser, I installed Chrome afterwards, since it have much more features compared to the stock/built in browser.
As for the multimedia player I use MXPlayerPro, fetched from Google Play as well
With this setup, from 345 apks/odexes I'm left with only about 78 apks/odexes. And it feels blazing fast.
that's 267 bloatwares/junks within your device, even if it's not coming from some service provider (OEM)
From 1 gb space used in factory settings to about 200 mb.

Cheers, enjoy and hope this help.
Thanks for the bloatware list, it's gonna be useful ^^
You're welcome. Be aware the list of the APK above is NOT listing the bloatwares.
Those are the ones you should LEAVE ALONE.
Additional guide :
Adding third party apps as default system app
As noted above, I've removed SamsungIME.apk, which is the default samsung keyboard (which I hated much, with passion) and replaced it with SwiftKey.
What you'll need :
ES File Explorer
Zip tool; could be Winzip or Winrar on PC, or I use ZArchiver for Android
Purchased apps are stored as .asec in /data/app-private. Using ES File Explorer app backup feature, you can save it as .apk and install it like common apps.
Step-by-step instruction :
After you backed up the purchased apps, uninstall the old (google play installed) one.
Open the newly created apk using zip or zarchiver, you'll find "lib" folder.
Copy the content of "lib" folder (usually with .so extension) to system/lib folder in your device.
Set the copied .so file permission to rw-r--r-- (chmod 644 if you use terminal)
Install the apk like usual using apk installer
find the new installed apk in data/app folder and copy it to system/app folder
set the copied .apk file within system/app folder permission to rw-r--r-- (chmod 644)
The app should become system app and will stay within your device even if a factory reset was done.
Tested on SwiftKey, Delver, ES File Explorer, etc. Doesn't work with MXPlayerPro (let me know if you had success with MXPlayerPro)

Aftermath, background processes and battery consume list. Also attached RemoveMultiWindowIcon.zip (flash it using ClockWorkMod if you hate the multiwindow icon).
I installed dropbox and swiftkey, so if you did a factory reset, you'll only left with 2 active background processes at most (excluding SystemUI and Android core, of course)
Also, list of apk/odex updated, with SecTabletAlarmClock_P4NOTE.apk, ContextAwareService.apk, SecDownloadProviderUi.apk removed, along with their odexes. No problem so far.
SecDownloadProviderUi.apk didn't do anything significant. I rebooted after I removed it, downloading google play still working fine and still give me some progress bar on the download.
However, I've lost the "downloads" icon, which means I cannot clean up the logs, and may be cluttered over time.
Edit :
A full day running the super slim tablet :
Running CSR Racing, Delver, Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, TrueSculpt and Google Drive/QuickOffice and tons of other apps without any problem.
MTP detected flawlessly and can send files from my computer through USB without problem.
Wifi internet run without problem, browsing from tablet work marvelously and also mobile data working properly.
Battery obviously last MUCH longer.
Found out that CSC.apk (after first boot/factory reset) and Personalisation.apk (not sure what it does, maybe had something to do with ringtones and wallpapers) are safe to remove. Can anyone confirm this? I've did a full unroot on my device. Well those two are minor, now that you're left with about 40 apks from 170 default apks (78 and 340 if you count the odex files). I think deleting them won't do much now. But just curious, whether they are safe to delete or not.
Also google docs updated
Tested removing these :
BadgeProvider.apk - those badges on the app icon which displayed numbers of received messages/notifications. No crashes removing this.
CSC.apk - Can be removed after first boot. Not sure what it do.
Personalization.apk - said to be safe to remove, and so far it is. Not sure what it do.
NetworkLocation.apk - provide GPS location through Wifi, didn't use GPS on my tablet anyway
Keystring_DFT.apk - contains sets of USSD codes
Keystring_factory.apk - contains sets of USSD codes
Keystring_misc.apk - contains sets of USSD codes
No errors/crashes or anything. Updated first post.
Updated OP, now that I can post links, also added original threads.
Enjoy guys.

hi in your scribd document u gave the list of things that can be removed. so as u have explained the functions for those which shouldnt be removed.can u do the same for those to be removed. then it will help us to more customise(for example- i may need bluetooth,camera,gallery,music player,s note app) so can u specify which are those for the app i mentioned.:good::good::good::good:

always when there s no solution in official way Factory Reset & Flashing another Stock Firmware is best solutions.

VODB issue
This might help someone.. or not..
so I had the same issue., direct pen input and action memo stop working, though it's a note4.
This is one of three posts I found but none helped me.
The issue in my case was, that I didn't have VODB folder which I think contains recognition libraries.
Makes sense that just these two apps would crash when this recognition is missing. Also the other posts which I found, mentioned Keyboard app crashing
I suppose note4 keyboard is using different handwriting recognition than those two other apps, as my keyboard was working OK.
Check /system/VODB folder, you don't need root for that,
it should have files inside and should be readable to WORLD, as shown below
If folder or files are missing:
solution 1
re-flash complete official FW
solution 2 without flashing
get VODB folder and its content either from another phone of the same model and FW version, it doesn't have to be rooted, or get the folder from FW files, read below how.
copy folder to your phone, make it readable to world, as some explorers don't set that when copying.
If you want to be precise, this is how it's chmodded by csc parser:
Code:
drwxr-xr-x root root 2014-01-01 01:54 de_DE
drwxr-xr-x root root 2014-01-01 01:54 en_GB
drwxr-xr-x root root 2014-01-01 01:54 lib
drwxr-xr-x root root 2014-01-01 01:54 mul
-rw-r--r-- root root 2541 2008-08-01 12:00 resources.txt
also all files inside folders have the same permissions as resources.txt file
how to get VODB from FW files:
as the sgs2toext4 is not working anymore, to get files out from cache.img.ext4, I renamed it to hidden.img.ext4, packed using ustar TAR and flashed without any other FW files, when phone booted, there will be csc.zip file in /preload folder.
If there are no files inside /preload, you need to SHOW /preload folder using setprop command.
then extract VODB folder from csc.zip and copy to /system, set world read permissions
if you're curious what is the normal process, and what might have gone wrong:
after flashing new firmware, phone will shortly boot into recovery and perform some "CSC" tasks. this is when the folder VODB get copied into /system
CSC is being flashed into cache partition, which was once used for few other things.
one of tasks of CSC parser is also doing, is copying content from another space-eating-for-nothing partition called preload or hidden
now, you might have removed these two partitions to reclaim that gigs of wasted space, or removed hidden and cache flash files from IMG.. like me..
Could anyone link to or send me these two files? I did some googling and I found them for older versions of Android but not for the stock lollipop rom for my phone. Flashing my phone with a new ROM isn't an option right now. I was trying to delete the stock calendar app so that Google Calendar would stop asking me to choose between the two when I create a new event with voice commands but accidentally deleted the Calendar storage Apk also. Next time I promise I will make a backup with titanium backup first! I already tried using the files from an older version and also from a sprint s5 but neither of these worked.
I downloaded what I believe to be the stock rom (took the better part of the day since it was on RapidGator: L720VPUGOH1_L720SPTGOH1_L720VPUGOH1_HOME.tar.md5) and I followed rwilco12's guide to extract the files I needed. I set the permissions to rw-r--r-- and moved them to the system/app folder, but Google Calendar and Calendar Storage both still crash and fail. I tried creating a folder the way it was in on the image (in priv-app) but still no dice.
EDIT: Disregard! It's all fixed!
Please see this attached screen shot for details, incase you come across this problem too and need to fix it.
Hi and thank you for reading/responding to my urgent message!
I desperately need a copy of the STOCK (an unedited, default file) version of the NotoColorEmoji.ttf file located at system/fonts .
If you are using Android 4.4.2 on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 SM-T330NU Tablet (does the device make a difference?) and haven't previously edited your emojis or this file at all AND your device is rooted, then I need your help!
I screwed up my NotoColorEmoji.ttf file using FlashFire for Android.
I tried to install or flash a custom emojis pack, it didn't work and rendered my tablet useless as each time I rebooted it would initially begin to load then once each startup app would try to initiate I'd get an "Unfortunately, blah blah has stopped working" error, for every app, over and over and over.
So yeah, I'm back now after master resetting the tablet but now my emojis menu on the stock keyboard won't show the previews, they will type out, but I have no way of knowing which one I'm clicking until after I've clicked it. So yeah, it's broked!
I desperately need your stock android 4.4.2 NotoColorEmoji.ttf file so I can overwrite my corrupted one at system/fonts.
If you're rooted you can copy the NotoColorEmoji.ttf file pretty easily and give me a copy. If you could upload it here/reply to my post that'd be awesome.
Pretty please and thank you!
